It is so hard to make ends meet from month to month. Putting it all down on paper is overwhelming, but we think that in the end it will help us. It just looks so bleak to SEE, in black and white, that there isn't enough and there is nowhere to "cut." We literally do wonder how to keep our children fed. Thanks for all the work you put into setting up these sessions. Everyone we know could benefit from what you teach, and we will be passing on the word!

Instead I would list your minimum payment. If you want you could add a slash and put in your average actual payment as well. Mostly this information is for reference purposes so you can see all your financial information at a glance. It's not meant to be a debt snowball (although I will certainly be addressing that later) but will certainly be referred to in creating your get-out-of-debt plan.

Will there be a separate sheet later for tracking some sort of debt snowball? Sorry if I'm jumping ahead. Just getting excited about putting my stuff together!

This program will totally work if you're single. I always forget to mention that. You can just tune out when I talk about couple stuff. I'm glad you're giving it a try. Ben, welcome aboard.
